My 550HP RUF 997tt is here.

Hi everyone !

This afternoon I picked up my 997tt TIP with the 550 HP kit installed. This is the FIRST turbo TIP with this kit installed.

I will test it more thoroughly later on tonight and will give my detailed impressions.

So far I can say, it is a beast !

550 HP (at least ! Probably around 570 HP)
780 NMs at 2500 rpm.

I have my performance box ready will try to get some acceleration data later on.

So stay tuned !

Cheers.

Is most of this HP coming from a reprogrammed chip? Interested in how difficult to get the necessary part out to send off for reprogramming. Anyone try it yet and can describe the procedure just a bit??

There are instructions on how to remove the ECU on Imagine Auto's website - they're a board sponsor and the link is off on the rightside.

Stephen may have posted instructions, but I highly doubt Ruf will do a "send in the mail" flash of your ECU like Imagine or Sharkwerks.

Hi Guys,

just came back from my first test. Here is the first performance data, all measured by the performance box.

Outside temp 17 degrees C., road dry.

All on normal roads, which are not perfectly flat, even and have a relatively rough surface. Oh, and no tricks or other performance enhancing 'techniques'. All standard driving, as one would do every day. (Except perhaps 0-100 which was with torque-braking)

0-100 km/h: 3.4 secs
100-200 km/h: 7.1 secs
200-250 km/h: 5.9 secs

So that makes:

0-200 km/h: 10.5 secs

and

0-250 km/h: 16.4 secs

I think these can be improved a little, on a cooler day, with less humidity and on a proper track.

Erik,

he posted a 0-300 time of 30.7 seconds on Rennlist. Perhaps when the GPS plot comes we can add that to the list?
